Blue search cards - need the whole story
Please remember to include on any search cards you fill out:
- Your name and the date
- Brief explanation of what happened and anything you did (write at top of card).
Example: "Patron asked for the book, I checked shelf & it wasn't there. Patron did not want to wait for search and said she would come back tomorrow."
There is not specific space on the blue search card for these pieces of information. You must remember to include them. Just write the information on the top of the card.
Also, fill out a search card any time you find out that an item is missing from the shelf, even if the patron does not want the item searched for. In this case, fill out the card yourself and note that the patron did not need a search.
